I’ve spotted the hummingbird a number of times in the garden over the last few weeks… I have basically given up trying to get a photo, lol…

last Sunday I was in the living room on the phone with my daughter and looked out the window to see the hummy shoot by…

that made me go out to the garage to find the hummingbird feeder, bring it into the house, make syrup and fill the feeder… took it out and hung it in the garden near the purple flowers it seemed to like…

I sat out for awhile to watch for it, but nothing…

the next day, my buddies were here and when one tasted her coffee she spit it out… apparently I had put salt in the sugar bowl… which had also been what I used to make the syrup for the feeder… no wonder nobody showed up to drink from it…

brought the feeder back in, made real syrup, and put it outside…

maybe the hummingbird will come back, but it looks like it may have headed south;-(…

service…

I’ve been getting my Friday dinner for most of December and into January from Modern Plate Catering…

a number of weeks ago, when it was delivered, Curtis, the delivery person, asked if I had salt and then sprinkled it on my steps and sidewalk, which were covered in ice… how kind was that;-)… it is so nice to get to know the members of businesses, particularly in these trying times… the next week he brought salt with him!

today, when he and Lindsay dropped off my dinner, he had already shovelled the steps before I opened the door… he was prepared to shovel the sidewalk as well, but I told him not to…

good customer service is so important and makes me try harder to use good companies again and again;-)…

especially when the food is delicious, lol…

so happy that my salt mill has been replaced… it stopped working a few weeks ago and I took it apart to see if I could fix it… wasn’t possible…

a bit difficult because I only have coarse salt so seasoning was troublesome…

eventually, I emptied the pepper mill and filled it with salt… for a few days it produced salt and pepper together, lol…

of course, then I couldn’t use pepper…

finally my grandson was able to pick up a replacement for me…

so happy to have salt and pepper available now;-)…

tacos…

boys slept in until eight this morning… then happily watched cartoons on tv until their mom arrived about 8:30…

we went out for breakfast… second day in a row for me, lol… today it was Perkins for eggs Benedict… the 55 plus portion for me, which is just the right amount…

more shopping and found these adorable battery powered salt and pepper mills… had to bring them home… they are so cute…

  
now I have to figure out where to put them because they are too tall to fit in the cabinet where the old ones were, lol… but I can get rid of the older ones…

for our supper tonight we had tacos… only the little boys and their daddy came, but everyone loved them and had at least three each…

  
I used a ground vegan product instead of meat… very tasty and easier than cooking hamburger… no one even noticed the difference… we also had some refried beans, which we adults enjoyed… the boys don’t like beans of any kind…

I love feeding them tacos because they always eat well and there aren’t any complaints… there is lots of lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, avocado and sour cream to go with the soft and hard tacos that they like…

tonight they had milk with their supper… I usually offer juice boxes because I don’t think of drinking milk as I really dislike it, but they think of it as a treat, ugh…

another of their favourites is Subway sandwiches… they would choose that over burgers nearly any day… 

wonderful that they enjoy healthy foods…
